Now lets go through how it works. Starting from the top, we import sqlite3 for our database, random for some data to fill the database with, and wx for our gui obviously. First some variables are initialized. "self.reverse" and "self.oldC" are necccessary to allow for double clicking of the column header to reverse the sort (from ascending to descending, and vice versa). "self.command" is the command that is called to get data from the database. In the function "setupDB", a connection is made to a database that resides in RAM. A table is then created, saved, and then the function "self.fillDB" is called. This function uses the random module to fill the database with an assortment of integers, strings, and floats. An event, "EVT_LIST_COL_CLICK" is bound to the listCtrl, and the function to be called is "self.setupSort". It is also possible to use self.listCtrl.Bind(wx.EVT_LIST_COL_Click, self.setupSort), however wxGlade does that default to that. In self.setupSort, the column that was clicked on was is determined through event.GetColumn. Since we sort via columns, an if/elif block is used to set the command used for fetching data from the database. Further down, by comparing the column the user selected to the one they selected previously, whether to reverse the data is determined. If it is determined that it should be reversed, the SQL keyword "DESC" is appended. When using moderate table sizes, this works well. However, there is a slight amount of lag when using table sizes of above 1e5, through whether this is from the SELECT operation or the list control is uncertain.
Hopefully this will help somebody
